Prof. Dr. Christian Laforsch, Chair of Animal Ecology I at the University of Bayreuth and one of the world’s leading scientists in the field of microplastics research, has been appointed to the Environmental Public Health (EPH) Commission of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). The Commission advises the RKI and the Federal Environment Agency on key issues at the interface between the environment and health.

Both metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (commonly known as “fatty liver disease”) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are common conditions in Germany, yet they often go undiagnosed. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth, together with partners from medicine and industry, are now investigating in the MASIBO study how these two conditions are linked and how inflammatory processes influence disease progression.

Internationally renowned materials scientist Prof. Perena Gouma has begun her research stay at the Functional Materials research group at the University of Bayreuth. The Alexander von Humboldt Research Award recognizes leading international researchers whose scientific achievements have had a lasting impact on their respective fields. It is considered one of Germany’s most prestigious scientific awards for researchers from abroad.
